This week improving Menu2 related stuffs was my main focus. A new base widget, PopupContainer is introduced in Menu2.js which encapsulates opening in a given position in the screen or around an element, toggle animation integration, sub popup handling and IE bleed through issue workaround. PopupContainer now serves as the base class of PopupMenu2, ToolTip and DropDownContainer. Menu2Manager defined in Menu2.js was renamed to PopupManager.

Two issues in DomWidget were also fixed: #1029 and templateCssString handling bug when no template file/string is specified.

While working on animation integration, two bugs in lfx package were found (thanks to Bill for noticing the issues). I fixed one of them while the other is waiting for Bryan ( #1102).

PopupContainer and PopupManager will eventually be moved into a new file because ToolTip and DropDownContainer only depend on PopupContainer, so no need to include PopupMenu2 and other widgets defined in the Menu2.js file.

I also migrated ComboBox widget to make use PopupMenu2 widget as the popup in my local copy. You can try it here (a profile is dumped at the end of the page). However, Bill was not happy with the performance, so it needs more work to be merged.

The focus manager section in the wiki page GlobalHotkeyAndFocusManager was also updated.

I also started to work on ticket # 1046 (Remove hardcoded event handlers in the Editor2 and Editor2Toolbar to make them extensible).

Next week, I will try to improve the proposal GlobalHotkeyAndFocusManager further given more feedback are received and try to finish ticket # 1046. Of course, bug fixing for the code I am working on is always on my list.
